As promised I’m trying to make small quick videos to talk about my analysis or my positions.  This is a quick video about some option positions around the DAX that will run till the end of August. Enjoy and trade well.   Paul

I’ve not posted for a while as I’ve been busy with one family emergency after another.  I’m just starting to get back into my working routine after an eventful couple of months. During this period my trading has been limited to some news trading as part of  ‘The Wallachie Fan’ and some much longer term […]

I spent most of today at the Shares Magazine Forex Trading Conference presenting on “What I Wish I’d Known When I Started Trading” – I’d been led to believe that 70-80% of the attendees were complete newbies and planned my presentation around that. In the end probably 50% of people had been trading for more […]

I’ve been writing all year about the EURGBP and its constant decline whilst making new lows. Well at the end of this week we had a further point of interest as the currency closed below the psychological number 0.800 for the first time since September 2012. Most of this was due to comments by BoE […]

Sterling has been a great story these last couple of months. If like me you’re looking to buy strength and sell weakness then GBP has been strong all year. On the daily chart of GBPUSD we can see that price has been chugging upwards in a nice channel. Price tickled the soft underbelly of the […]

Well its been an interesting week for the markets, what with Crimea and big news announcements.

I admitted that I have a particular interest in a declining EURGBP rate as it helps me enormously from a personal level. It would […]

I’ve been keeping an eye on GBPUSD in 2014 and wrote about the pair a few weeks back (which you can read here). In those pieces I talked about the cap that the Monthly 200 period Moving Average has presented around 1.6635. Price hit those levels…and then promptly sold off. Well after a nice sell […]

There’s a saying that “7 days is a long time in politics” well in financial markets it would appear that 24 hours is a long time in trading. I’d put up a piece on Thursday evening / Friday morning about GBPUSD hitting new highs and intimating that a daily and weekly close above the 1.66 […]

Here’s a few of the charts I spoke about last night during the End of 2013 Review webinar that I conducted for ActivTrades.  It was a look back through the year and a look ahead at possible scenarios for 2014. Some of the themes I talked about for 2014 were: – “Abegeddon!” – Euro Deflation […]
